Water and Steam Properties Calculations Program User Manual
Chapter 1 – Introduction
This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview of the Water and Steam Properties Calculations for the
FloBoss™ 107.
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the Water and Steam
Properties Calculations program, which is intended for use in a FloBoss
107 (FB107). This manual describes how to download, install, and
configure the Water and Steam Properties Calculations user program
(referred to as the “Water and Steam program” or “the program”
throughout the rest of this manual). You access and configure this program
using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration Software loaded on an IBMcompatible personal computer running Windows® 98, NT 4.0 (with
Service Pack 6), 2000 (with Service Pack 2), or XP.
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate
for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the
software, the manual becomes a reference tool.
This manual has the following major sections:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Installation
Chapter 3 – Configuration
Chapter 4 – Reference
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the FB107 and its
configuration. For more information, refer to the FloBoss 107 Flow
Manager Instruction Manual (Form A6206) or the ROCLINK 800
Configuration Software User Manual (for FloBoss 107) (Form A6217).
1.2 Product Overview
The Water and Steam program allows a FloBoss 107 to calculate density,
enthalpy (heating value), entropy, viscosity, and specific heat ratio for
water and steam applications in either Metric or English (US) units.
Program calculations conform to the International Association for the
Properties of Water and Steam, International Formulation 1997 (IAPWSIF-97) standard. This program is intended for use with the ISO5167-
2003 calculation standard provided by the FB107 firmware or a User
C flow calculation program compatible with water and steam
properties.
The Water and Steam program is compatible with FB107 firmware
version 1.10 and greater. The user program is downloaded and configured
in the FB107 with ROCKLINK™ 800 Configuration Software (version
1.75 or greater).

perform the calculations.

program.

1.3 Program Operation
With the program installed, the FB107 reads the current flowing static
pressure and temperature once every second. At the completion of each
Integral or Base Multiplier Period (or IMP/BMP), the program executes
the water and steam properties calculations, using the average flowing
static pressure and temperature during the IMP/BMP. The program writes
the resulting values to standard FB107 point types and the associated userdefined point type for the water and steam values.
1.3.1 Supported IAPWS Water and Steam Regions
Figure 1. IAPWS Water and Steam Regions 1 through 5
The Water and Steam program supports IAPWS Water and Steam Regions
1, 2, 4, and 5 (see Figure 1). The program does not support IAPWS
Water and Steam Region 3. The water and steam calculations
implemented in this user program are valid for pressures between 0.69 and
16513 kPa (0.1 and 2395 PSIA) and temperatures between 0 and 800°C
(32 and 1472°F). Calculations of water properties for higher pressures—
between 16513 and 100000 kPa (2395 and 14504 PSIA)—are valid for
temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and the Region 1 and 3 boundary.
Calculations of steam properties for higher pressures—between 16513 and
100000 kPa (2395 and 14504 PSIA)—are valid for temperatures between
1-2 Introduction Issued Mar-08
Water and Steam Properties Calculations Program User Manual
the Region 2 and 3 boundary and 800°C (1472°F). The calculations are
also valid for higher steam temperatures, when the pressure is between
0.69 and 10000 kPa (0.1 and 1450 PSIA). In these cases the temperature
can range from 800 to 2000°C (1472 to 3632 °F).
Note: If the static pressure and temperature lie within Region 3, the
program sets all of the thermodynamic properties—including
density, viscosity, specific heat ratio, enthalpy, and entropy—to
1.0 to provide an indication of calculation within this unsupported
area.
If you know the fluid is saturated water or steam, the phase can be
specified along with the choice of pressure or temperature used to
determine the properties. In this case, the conditions are set to Region 4
and the quality is set to 0% if the phase is specified as saturated water or
100% if the phase is specified as saturated steam.

1.4 Program Requirements
You download the Water and Steam program to—and then run it from—
the Flash and RAM memory on the FB107. The Water and Steam program
is compatible with firmware version 1.10 (or greater) of the FB107.
Download and configure the program using the ROCLINK 800
Configuration software (version 1.75 or greater).

Some applications require that you install a license in the CPU to run the
application. This license software is specific to these applications and is
the property of the individual vendor (shown in the Vendor Name field on
the License Key Administrator screens).
RAS (and other authorized vendors) distributes software licenses on
security-enhanced universal serial bus (USB) drives.

Chapter 2 – Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the Water and Steam
program. Read Section 1.4 of this manual for program requirements.
Note: The program and license key can be installed in any order. The
manual shows the installation of the license key first.
2.1 Installing the License Key
A license key is required to use the Water and Steam program. To install a
USB key-based license on the FB107:
1. Insert the USB license key in a USB port on your PC.
